Drive-Up Storage Units

At Storage Sense, we provide reliable, easy-access drive-up storage units. Our drive-up storage solutions deliver a range of benefits designed to suit your specific storage needs.

What are Drive-Up Storage Units?

Drive-up storage units are essentially self-storage spaces that allow direct vehicle access. Think of them as a garage away from home where you can drive up to your unit, unload or pick up what you need, and drive away without the hassle of navigating corridors or elevators. These units are an excellent option for storing large items such as furniture, appliances, and commercial inventory, making them a popular choice for both short-term and long-term storage needs.

Benefits of Drive-Up Storage Units

1. Easy Access: Our drive-up units let you park your vehicle directly in front of your storage unit, making loading and unloading a breeze.
2. Convenience: Whether you’re a business owner managing inventory or a homeowner needing quick access to stored items, the convenience of a drive-up unit is unparalleled.
3. Range of Sizes: We offer various unit sizes to accommodate your unique storage needs, from a few large pieces of furniture to the contents of an entire home or business.
4. Protection: While not inside a building, our drive-up units are designed to withstand harsh conditions, keeping your belongings dry and secure.

Common Reasons for Choosing Drive-Up Storage Units

1. Large Item Storage: Drive-up storage units are perfect for storing bulky items like furniture, appliances, and outdoor gear, thanks to easy vehicle access.
2. Business Needs: For businesses that require frequent access to their inventory, a drive-up storage unit is a convenient solution that saves both time and effort.
3. Renovations: During home renovations, a drive-up storage unit can provide an easily accessible temporary home for your household items, protecting them from the potential damage of contractor work.
4. Moving: Drive-up storage units can serve as a temporary storage solution during a move or transition, offering easy access to your belongings when you need them.
5. Vehicle Storage: Some drive-up storage units can accommodate vehicles, making them an excellent choice for off-season or long-term car storage.

Points to Consider When Renting a Drive-Up Storage Unit

1. Accessibility: Ensure that the facility offers convenient access hours that suit your schedule. Some facilities even provide 24/7 access.
2. Unit Size: Consider the size of the items you intend to store and choose a unit size accordingly. An overly spacious unit means you’re paying for more room than needed, while a cramped unit might not fit all your belongings or may make them difficult to access.
3. Security Measures: The facility should have adequate security measures in place, such as surveillance cameras, secure gating, and good lighting.
4. Climate Control: If you plan to store items that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations or humidity, you might want to consider a climate-controlled unit, even though it’s drive-up.
5. Vehicle Clearance: Make sure your vehicle can easily access the unit, with adequate clearance for unloading and loading items.
6. Cost: Be sure to understand all the costs associated with the unit. This could include the monthly rent, possible security deposits, insurance, administrative fees, and any penalties for late payment.
7. Insurance: Storage Sense requires insurance for your stored belongings to ensure they’re protected. We provide insurance directly, or you have the flexibility to choose your own insurance provider. This offers you the chance to find a policy that best suits your needs and budget.
8. Lease Terms: At Storage Sense, we understand that your storage needs might change over time. That’s why we offer flexible storage rental lease terms, with no long-term commitments required. This flexibility allows you to rent a unit for exactly the length of time you need, whether it’s for a month or a year.
9. Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the storage facility often reflects the overall care and management of the units. A well-maintained facility is likely to be a better environment for your belongings.
10. Customer Service: Good customer service can make a huge difference, especially if you run into any issues with your unit or have questions along the way.
11. Prohibited Items: Be aware of the items that are not allowed to be stored in the unit. This typically includes perishables, hazardous materials, flammable items, weapons, and illegal items.
